A Review of Structural Health Monitoring in Heritage Building due to Cracking Issues

Abstract

Abstract This paper reviews the application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) on heritage buildings due to crack problems. SHM is an essential tool for ensuring the safety and long-term preservation of historic structures. The review focuses on the challenges and opportunities of implementing SHM techniques on heritage buildings, including the use of non-destructive testing, wireless sensor networks, and machine learning algorithms. The paper also highlights case studies of successful SHM implementations on heritage buildings and discusses the importance of integrating SHM into the overall maintenance and preservation strategy for these structures. In general, the article convincingly highlights the critical significance of incorporating SHM in heritage buildings. This practice is essential for guaranteeing the enduring preservation and safety of these buildings, thereby securing their legacy for future generations.
